Library Director Looks Into Future By Brian Simon Technology has changed so dramatically since the 1980s that it’s a wonder anyone can keep up, but those who wish to maintain the pace and survive in today’s world must adapt. This is certainly the case with libraries. The growth of the Internet and e-books has altered the very fabric of how these facilities now operate and the way that people use them. Yet despite continuing challenges, libraries still play an important role in their communities. By embracing new technologies while retaining a longstanding focus on personalized customer service that never goes out of fashion, City of El Segundo Director of Library Services Debra Brighton sees a bright future ahead. Recently celebrating her 25th year with the El Segundo Public Library, Brighton started out as Reference Manager for the Adult Information Desk in 1987 and eventually earned a promotion to Principal Librarian in the early ‘90s. At the time, she began to supervise a then-new (and still going) program overseeing four El Segundo Unified School District campus libraries as well as the children’s area and adult staff. “I also planned and installed the library’s first computer system for checking out materials and accessing an automated catalog, which replaced the old card catalog,” Brighton said. “Soon after, we went online with the Internet and people could start getting on our catalog at home and in the office to search for books and hold materials.” Brighton became Library Director in 1999, managing operations of a $2.2 million budget and supervising 27 employees. Among her accomplishments over the past 13 years, she doubled the amount of meeting space at the facility, modernized the library’s functions and developed more regular programming for adults through the annual Author Fair, Concert Series and Book Discussions. “We also have converted some of our smaller rooms to a technology training center and Skype room,” Brighton said. It’s no surprise that the explosion of the Internet and technology in the ‘90s drastically changed the way the library does business and assists its patrons. It took some time to adjust initially. “When I first came here, we could not afford online databases and relied mostly on printed reference materials and encyclopedias,” Brighton said. “Now, everyone uses the Internet to find information, but we still answer around 25,000 questions per year at our Reference Center and train patrons to use the Internet and e-book readers. People use the library as See Library, page 5 PTA Looks to Next “Run” to Bolster School Fundraising By Brian Simon Despite the recent passage of Prop 30 to ward off further academic cuts statewide, schools are by no means out of the woods yet and the roles of support groups such as education foundations and parent teacher associations are more vital than ever. Case in point, El Segundo’s PTA Council hopes to revamp its largest annual fundraiser in hopes of generating a record $100,000 in proceeds to benefit local schools. With the City’s blessing, organizers of the 22nd annual Run for Education will implement changes to accommodate significantly higher attendance. “Overall, registrations are expected to perhaps double last year’s 1,500 participants with total attendance forecast to be between 2,500 and 3,500 individuals,” said event chairperson Carlos Donahue. “Numbers are based on both noted improvements and greater marketing outreach to the South Bay community.” The very first Run for Education took place in February 1992 with just 294 adult participants in the 5K/10K and 237 children in the Kids Run, so it has grown tremendously over the years. In addition to serving as the PTA’s major fundraiser, the event is also the primary vehicle for El Segundo Unified School District’s wellness policy. The next Run is set for March 23 and will include a new 10K route, food booths, games, and an expanded health and fitness expo showcasing local youth and adult sports programs, fitness-related businesses/ products and health organizations. The City will allow the PTA to use its permit to hang banners across Sepulveda Boulevard in order to publicize the event. However, the PTA will have to pay for any additional public safety or parks staffing required since the City has no available funding to cover those costs. After expenses, the net receipts from last year’s Run generated $9,600 for each of the four PTA units—El Segundo High, El Segundo Middle School, Center Street School and Richmond Street School. Another $500 each went to Arena High and the Eagles Nest Preschool. The goal is to more than double those proceeds in 2013. “We have been blessed with generous See Run for Ed, page 6 Page 2 January 3, 2013 EL SEGUNDO HERALD Pets Without Partners Purrrfect Companions Make a New Year’s resolution to help a homeless pet by adopting or sponsoring a “pet without a partner.” Noelle was found as a stray with no collar or microchip and we were unable to find her owner--just a reminder, please microchip your pets. She is about two years old, is fully grown at eight pounds and is smaller than she appears in her photo. Noelle is a very sweet little girl and is a smiler, too! When she is happy, she will show you all of her pearly whites… it’s such a unique quality some dogs have. Noelle is fostered with three other dogs and does great with them all. She is housebroken with an open door and has not had any accidents in the house. Noelle is lovable, kind and so sweet. Her back is full of lush, full curls all the way down to her tail. Noelle is spayed, current on vaccines, de-wormed, microchipped, good with other dogs, and good with children. Rex is a very handsome puppy...and he is all puppy at that. This beautiful boy is quite the camera ham, posing for his beautiful pictures. We believe his breed to be wire-haired Dachshund mixed with Basset Hound. He is a stunning very unique-looking boy. He is Ring in the New Year with a new best friend when you adopt your purr-fect partner. Someone put this beautiful litter in a box in the street right after they were born. Thankfully, their foster mom saw the box and went to inspect. She found six tiny kittens inside. They were already ice cold as she took them home, got them warmed up and started feeding them…every two hours because they were so tiny. Now they are now a bunch of loving, playful, strong and healthy kittens looking for forever homes. Now is your chance to help Santa fill their post-holiday wishes to find families to adopt and love them as much as they will love you. Since they’ve been together all their lives, William, Truman, Teddy, Franklin, Jackson and Hillary hope you either already have a cat at home or adopt two of them together! These kittens/cats are available for adoption through Kitten Rescue, one of the largest cat Rex currently six months old and quite long and might get close to the length of a Basset in the next five months when he stops growing. Rex is a character who is hilariously funny Noelle and wants to be the center of attention. He was fostered for about a week before coming into our rescue and his foster mom said he would go to the door to be let outside. He only had one accident in her home. Rex is a lovely boy who is fine with other dogs and great with children. Rex is neutered, current on vaccines, de-wormed, microchipped, good with children and other dogs. To learn more about these and other wonderful dogs, visit our website at www. animalsrule.org. If a dog is on our website, it’s available.

Now she has a new family committed to her who give her the love and attention she deserves… “Good Morning! Charlie has snuggled in quite well! I had to ‘show her off’ right away when we brought her home last Saturday. She is a hit in the neighborhood. I had a guest come over a few hours after we brought her home--someone who was unaware I had gotten a new dog--and they had assumed I may have had her for a little while due to the fact she was so well-behaved. Kudos to all in her training. She comes right back when you call her and knows some commands. A bit excited when going on walks--not over the top. Just happy with her new life. We are reeling her in. She and our Boston Terrier Pandy are two adorable little ladies. They enjoy their afternoon and evening walks. Charlie is recovering well from her spay. She actually was in heat when they did it. Eating well, had two minor potty accidents, but I cannot complain. She caught me off guard and truly captured my heart. Thank you for the photos. She will not be a stranger. I will get some photos to you this holiday. Please include her as a success story. Love, Carol, Blake, Pandy and Charlie!” When you adopt a “pet without a partner,” you will forever make a difference in their life and they are sure to make a difference JOZPVSTr rescue groups in Southern California.

Krekeler Paul R. Krekeler, 60, of El Segundo, Calif., passed away in the early morning of Dec. 10, 2012, at the Ronald Reagan UCLA Medical Center in Los Angeles. Paul was born Feb. 7, 1952, in Austin, Texas, to Edward and Marie Krekeler. He was the third of six children. He graduated from St. Xavier High School in Cincinnati in 1970. Paul studied aerospace engineering at the University of Cincinnati. He graduated in 1975 and traveled across the country to the Los Angeles area to take a job at Northrop Grumman Aerospace Systems, where he held positions of increasing responsibility and lead various aspects of the design of the B-2, YF-23 and F/A-18 aircraft. During the course of his career, Paul continued his education, earning a bachelor’s degree in business administration from the University of Redlands in 1979 and a master’s degree in aerospace engineering from Cal Poly Pomona in 1986. After 34 years, Paul retired from Northrop Grumman Aerospace Systems in 2010. Paul was preceded in death by his parents and survived by his son, Jeff; his daughter, Jamie; his brothers, Edward (of Beaumont, Texas), John (of St. Charles, Mo.) and Peter (of Cincinnati); and his sisters, Karen (Weber) and Kristine (Bartel), both of Cincinnati. Paul’s passions in life were riding his Harley, which he said made him feel young and free; playing the guitar and keyboard; and the game of golf, which he played on a regular basis and in which became an accomplished player. But nothing gave him greater joy than his children, whom he said kept him sane. His personal motto was, “If you’re not living near the edge, then you’re simply taking up way too much space.” A celebration of Paul’s life will be held on Saturday, Feb. 9, 2012, from noon to 3 p.m., at El Segundo Recreation and Parks’ Joslyn Center (located on the south end of Recreation Park off Eucalyptus Street), 339 Sheldon St., El Segundo, CA. In lieu of flowers, please donate to the USO or the March of Dimes in Paul’s memory.

EL SEGUNDO HERALD Library a central study and meeting place, plus they attend our free programs for all ages, including storytimes and reading events for children.” For Brighton, perhaps the biggest challenge in staying current with new technologies is that the general public expects library services to be free even when money is hard to come by. Though hardware and software components typically need replacement every four to five years when they become outdated or break down, the recent economic downturn left the City with only partial funding to address such issues at the library. “We have gone to longer January 3, 2013 from front page open on Fridays has not been possible the last couple of years. After the City rescinded the furloughs of 2010, the library did manage to recoup some lost evening hours. “We hope to get those afternoon hours back on Friday next year if the budget stabilizes and funding can be restored in this area,” Brighton said. As for what else the future may hold, Brighton predicts the library will have fewer book and magazine stacks and instead feature downloading stations for electronic tablets, along with more comfortable seating and meeting spaces. “Libraries are starting to “As for what else the future may hold, Brighton predicts the library will have fewer book and magazine stacks and instead feature downloading stations for electronic tablets, along with more comfortable seating and meeting spaces.” cycles,” Brighton said. “Also, keeping our new bookshelves well-supplied with the annual rise in the cost of print materials above inflation has been another challenge. We have converted some of our print material budget for e-books since that is our fastest growing format for reading popular titles. We subscribe to two subscription services that offer e-books for free to download and check out to our users through the library’s website. Our Friends of the Library also give us between $15-20,000 a year for books and program funding, plus they host most of the Author Fair.” The Friends also recently subsidized the first part of a major project to convert over 90 years of El Segundo Herald editions from microfilm to digital format. Meanwhile, the City’s lingering budget woes also continue to impact library staffing and hours. The facility has gone to a fourday week with full-time personnel on for 10 hours, but keeping three public service desks look at loaning out Kindles or iPads already downloaded with books, but the key issues are how to replace these tablets if they are lost or damaged with their costs still on the expensive side,” Brighton said. “In the children’s library, I see more interactive and engaging areas for early childhood education where parents can actively learn with their children in a more comfortable environment for the entire family.” Brighton’s vision of tomorrow’s library still paints it as a community hub for learning and other activities, even if some of the functions of yesteryear may have evolved into new roles. “My wish is that the community will see the library as a vital gathering place for continued self-learning, education, storytimes for preschool kids and just reading for fun,” she said. “We hope students will still come after school for homework help and that the community will see us as an important place for meetings, library programs, tutoring, professional seminars and MPDBMPSHBOJ[BUJPOTur Page 5 Police Reports SATURDAY, DECEMBER 22 One male adult was arrested at 0233 hours from Imperial Highway and Vista Del Mar for misdemeanor DUI with a BAC of .08% or above.

For the El Segundo High PTA, fundraising is especially fragmented with monies going to the band, choir, sports teams, class projects, and service groups such as the Interact and Key clubs. “For the PTA to raise significant funding for badly needed items that all students need is tough, to say the least,” said Muraida. “The El Segundo High School PTA raised over $13,000 last year and covered the cost of running their website, six overhead projectors that are tied into teachers’ laptops, and daily binder reminders [calendars for students to log in assignments/tests, etc.]. They are also supporting students to attend Sacramento Safari in March to learn to advocate and present issues to legislators.” The Middle School used proceeds from its Fall Fundraiser and the Run for teacher wishes, support for the students’ counselor (such as prizes for the “Caught being Good” program) and snacks for students prior to from front page STAR testing. That PTA also sponsors parent education speakers, assemblies, and the buses that transport sixth graders to Outdoor Science School as well as those used for other field trips. The two elementary schools have their own major fundraisers, with the Fall Festival at Richmond grossing over $30,000 alone and Center Street’s June Ice Cream Social generating more than $20,000. Both campuses also have a fall fundraiser and other smaller activities along the year. Funding from these efforts supplied equipment for computer labs at both schools, and iPads along with carts for Richmond Street (Center Street is about to acquire the same). Center Street’s PTA also donated funding for Grades of Green, providing playground furniture as well as a garden area for each class to raise vegetables. Both schools financially support buses for each teacher to arrange a field trip, as well as grade level assemblies. “There are many more teacher/principal requests that PTA offers as well as parent education and support,” explained Muraida. “This last year, El Segundo PTAs racked up over 8,800 hours of volunteering everything from daily room parent support to building floats for El Segundo High’s Homecoming. They chaperone dances, run the art docent programs in both elementary schools and on and on and on.” See Run for Ed, page 9 DUAL & QUAD CORE COMPUTERS FROM $485 with 3 YEAR WARRANTY!

Dairy products like butter, milk, cheese and cream are standard ingredients in celebratory dishes, but one area where dairy can play a starring role is often overlooked - the cocktail glass. Instead of just offering wine or beer, the California Milk Advisory Board (CMAB) has put together cocktail tips and tricks for making every gathering a happy hour at home. 1. Cheers to dairy. Served hot or cold, milky alcoholic beverages are delicious on a hot day or in the cold of winter. Cocktails made with milk can range from the classics like a White Russian to the more unusual Mardi Gras favorite Milk Punch, a somewhat lighter version of egg nog. Make sure to choose flavors and spices that complement the foods you’re serving. 2. Look in the fridge. Chances are you already have everything you need to create a special cocktail or host a happy hour at home. Now is the time to use up the leftover craft beers from last week’s game, that nice bottle of brandy you received as a gift and the California milk and cream you have in your fridge. 3. Apples to apples. Apples are one of those foods that everyone seems to love and that familiar apple flavor seems most welcome in the cooler, cozier months. Why not combine the iconic apple pie with a trend that is on the rise: hard ciders. With the influx of craft beer drinkers, hard ciders are coming into their own. Try creating a Belgian Hot Apple Pie Cocktail (see recipe) and wow your friends and family with your bartending skills. This cocktail takes the beloved flavor of apple pie and lights it on fire, literally. Whenever serving alcohol in your home, make sure there’s a designated driver to ensure everyone makes it home safely. BELGIAN HOT APPLE PIE COCKTAIL Yield: 1 serving 1 large scoop Real California vanilla ice cream 1 ounce apple brandy 12 ounces Belgian apple beer Place ice cream in a large glass. Pour brandy into a small glass. Carefully touch a lighted match to surface of brandy to ignite it.

There were championship efforts, championship celebrations and heartbreak finishes. We watched as our All-Star teams from the Little League and Babe Ruth Leagues made valiant efforts to bring home lofty goals. At the high school level a couple of coaching legends stepped down, the football team excelled, a runner continued to shine and the basketball teams started their seasons off on a positive note. The Babe Ruth League wrapped up the regular season and it came down to the Seals and Padres facing each other in the championship. The Seals forced a winnertake-all game after defeating the Padres 2-1. Tanner Stevens of the Seals outdueled the Padres’ Alexis Rodriquez on the mound and hit the game-winning homer run in the top of the seventh. In the championship game, the Seals won easily 11-2 to claim the league title. With the Little League regular seasons completed and league champions crowned, Alex Piibe, just a sophomore won a Pioneer League singles title. it was All-Dtar competition time. The ESLL All-Stars had another strong team led by such notables as Spencer Long, Justin Osler, Michael Graner and Sean Emery. For the fourth consecutive year, the ESLL won the District 36 tournament. It is believed the longest winning streak for District 36 champions from the same league. El Segundo cruised past Palos Verdes Little League 12-3 in the first game, escaped with a 4-3 win over a talented Manhattan Beach Little League team and dominated Redondo Little League 19-0 to advance to the championship game. Redondo Little League survived the losers’ bracket to gain a berth in the championship game with El Segundo. The ESLL All-Stars scored eight runs in the second inning en route to a 14-0 January 3, 2013 2012 Year In Review II win and District 36 banner. The All-Stars won the Sectional Tournament that included Little League All-Star teams from Torrance, Redondo, San Pedro, Harbor City and Lomita. They advanced to the North Sub-Division playoffs. After storming through the District and Sectional tournaments with a barrage of run support, El Segundo’s offense was silenced in the North Sub-Division tournament and the team was eliminated. They still ended up being one of the top six teams from California. The American Legion team qualified for the District playoffs for the 51st time in the past 52 years. Short of pitching, the team lost the first game to high-powered Lakewood 2-1 in eight innings and Narbonne 9-4 to conclude the season. The 13-year-old Babe Ruth All-Stars had a great run. Led by Kobe Estrada, Jason Kehl and the Palmers Jake and Josh, these future superstars advanced to the Pacific Southwest Regional in Surprise, Arizona. The team’s hitting helped propel it into the finals with a berth to the World Series on the line. Sadly, though, the All-Stars lost to a team from Northern California that had just enough pitching and more than enough hitting. The 15-year-old Babe Ruth All-Stars had a magical summer. They hosted the Pacific Southwest Tournament, but participated in the State Tournament held in Torrance. The team, made up of players from El Segundo High School’s Pioneer League-winning JV and frosh/soph teams, easily reached the finals where they defeated Torrance. Torrance would advance to the regional for making the finals of the State Tournament. The Pacific Southwest Tournament champion would advance to the World Series held in Van Buren, Arkansas. Teams from Utah, Nevada, Arizona and California converged to play the weeklong tournament. In the end, it was Torrance and El Segundo playing for the trip to the World Series. The two teams met three times during the Regional, including the winners’ bracket final and two championship elimination games. Torrance took advantage of some El Segundo miscues and held on for a 5-3 win. The locals would get another crack at their rivals after eliminating nationally recognized Del Oro, Arizona 10-0. In the first elimination contest, El Segundo pounded out 12 runs on 14 hits to win 12-2 to force the championship game. Arguably the best game of the 14-game tournament was the last one. El Segundo squandered an early lead only to see it disappear. In front of a standing room only crowd, El Segundo scored four sixth-inning runs to take a 6-4 and The Eagle’s defense strong this season was led by Austin Brasher (17), Jackson Walz (19), Joey Garza (33), Jacob Hurtt (42) and Austin Kurke 85). hold on for the trip to Arkansas. El Segundo would make its sixth trip to the World Series, which ties for the most appearances from one league. Led by Lars EL SEGUNDO HERALD The Eagles won their first two games, but then dropped their next three before entering league play. El Segundo’s only loss came to CIF finalist North Torrance. In the playoffs, Anna Farello (middle) finishes strong at the CIF meet. Nootbaar, Willem Mostert, Hunter Lewis and Nick Martinez, the team was within one win of reaching the championship game. The All-Stars fell 2-1 in the semifinal game to the eventual World Series winner and Southeastern Regional champion Lexington, Kentucky. Two legendary coaches said goodbye and retired this year. Juan Mosquera, who led the girls’ soccer team for the past 14 years, stepped down. His teams won three league championships and went to the playoffs 11 consecutive years. Craig Cousins, who was an assistant baseball coach for over 33 years and head coach for the past three years, also retired. He played in two CIF finals and coached in seven other finals alongside John Stevenson. The Eagles had won two straight Pioneer League titles under Cousins and he leaves a program loaded with talent. The football team had plenty of issues and challenges to start the season. With a number of projected starters sidelined due to injuries, younger and less experienced players were called upon to step up their game. When quarterback Daniel Zeman went down with a season-ending injury, sophomore QB Lars Nootbaar was called up to replace him. Other sophomores including Jackson Walz, Joey Garza, Elijah Hale and Kaylin Franklin made significant contributions to a team that finished second in the Pioneer League. the Eagles easily put away La Puente before falling to Centennial 14-10 in the second round. Led by Jonathon Combs, Parker Blacksten, Alec McDonald and Chase Emery, the boys’ water polo team finished second to Santa Monica in the Ocean League. El Segundo fell to La Habra 15-14 in the first round of the playoffs. Aleks Pibe won a singles tennis title and helped lead the Lady Eagles to a 13-7 record. Along with Jessie Hamada and Zoe Orandle, the team reached the CIF Southern Section quarterfinals where it was upended by Cerritos, the eventual CIF champions, 14-4. Under new coach Marcos Bolanos, the girls’ cross country team had a strong showing in the Pioneer League. Ana Farello was once again one of El Segundo’s top runners. Though she placed third in the Pioneer League, she qualified for the CIF meet where she finished high enough to qualify and return to the State meet. The boys’ and girls’ basketball teams are in full swing and are out to a decent start. Both teams hosted tournaments in December and fared well. The boys’ and girls’ soccer teams have managed to be more than just competitive thus far. Both teams are expected to make a run at a league title. So as we sang “Auld Lang Syne” and welcomed in the new year, we’ll savor the moments of another year in sports and look CBDLPOXJUIGPOENFNPSJFTr The 15 year old Babe Ruth All-Star pose after winning the Pacific Southwest Regional.

By Bob Eklund CLOSEST SINGLE STAR LIKE OUR SUN MAY HAVE HABITABLE PLANET An international team of astronomers led by the University of Hertfordshire has discovered that Tau Ceti, one of the closest and most Sun-like stars, may host five planets—with one in the star’s habitable zone. At a distance of 12 light-years and visible with the naked eye in the evening sky, Tau Ceti is the closest single star that has the same spectral classification as our Sun. Its five planets are estimated to have masses between two and six times the mass of the Earth—making it the lowest-mass planetary system yet detected. One of the planets lies in the habitable zone of the star and has a mass around five times that of Earth, making it the smallest planet found to be orbiting in the habitable zone of any Sun-like star. The international team of astronomers, from the UK, Chile, the USA, and Australia, combined more than 6,000 observations from three different instruments and intensively modeled the data. Using new techniques, the team has found a method to detect signals half the size previously thought possible. This greatly improves the sensitivity of searches for small planets. Mikko Tuomi, from the University of Hertfordshire and the first author of the paper, said, “We pioneered new data modeling techniques by adding artificial signals to the data and testing our recovery of the signals with a variety of different approaches. This significantly improved our noise modeling techniques and increased our ability to find low-mass planets.” Hugh Jones from the University of Hertfordshire commented, “We chose Tau Ceti for this noise modeling study because we had thought it contained no signals. And as it is so bright and similar to our Sun, it is an ideal benchmark system to test out our methods for the detection of small planets.” James Jenkins, Universidad de Chile and Visiting Fellow at the University of Hertfordshire, explained, “Tau Ceti is one of our nearest cosmic neighbors and so bright that we may be able to study the atmospheres of these planets in the not-too-distant future.” Over 800 planets have been discovered orbiting other worlds, but planets in orbit around the nearest Sun-like stars are particularly valuable. Steve Vogt from University of California Santa Cruz said, “This discovery is in keeping with our emerging view that virtually every star has planets and that the galaxy must have many such potentially habitable Earth-sized planets. They are everywhere, even right next door!” Chris Tinney from the University of New South Wales added, “As we stare the night sky, it is worth contemplating that there may well be more planets out there than there are stars—some fraction of which may well be habitable.” John Skulick 310-350-4240 [email protected] DRE # 00946399 10% of our Sales Goes to Local Schools!
